😬 What was hard for you to discover in Coda?

I had a problem as described towards the bottom of this post: How to automate adding multiple rows from one table to a new table with a button? - #7 by Carl_Haugen

I tried to cross doc a table and it drove me nuts that my filter function for an automation button did not work as I expected. I cross doced a tasks table, and the tasks table had a lookup to a project table.

When adding a filter function for the ā€œprojectā€ column I got the message that the referenced data could not be found, but I mistook that for being a limitation in the cross doc table instead of that the actual data could not be found. The reason for this was that I saw the data in the table just fine. Except for it being marked (with dotted lines perhaps)?

I think it would be a good idea to add a slight better error handling or inform the users better in this case. Perhaps you could add something like ā€œ(references in cross doc’ed tables need to also be cross doc’ed)ā€ to the error message of "Data referenced could not be found). Or adding a red dotted line or something to the column data and a popup on mouseover of ā€œdata can not be used in functions unless referenced tables is syncedā€ or similar. Perhaps you could add a ā€œdo’s and don’tsā€ to the ā€œCross Docā€ page that always pops up when adding a cross doc.
